Below is an email from U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley, who is leading the charge for
a ban on high-risk trading by big Wall Street banks, including J.P. Morgan.
Sen. Merkley created a
petition on SignOn.org that's spreading like wildfire. Now, he's asking
for help from MoveOn members in Virginia and across
America.
Bankers on Wall Street wrecked our economy by taking reckless risks
in pursuit of massive paydays. And, as J.P. Morgan has made clear, Wall
Street learned nothing and is still gambling.
If you agree that big banks should not gamble with the federally insured deposits that
families and small businesses depend on, click here to sign my petition:
I successfully fought for a ban on
high-risk trading by big Wall Street banks. This rule, called the
Volcker rule firewall, is meant to ensure that when Wall Street's bad bets
blow up, you and I don't get burned again. But for the last two years, Wall Street's legion of lobbyists have
been trying to blow holes in that firewall.
Wall Street lobbyists want the Fed to
write the J.P. Morgan loophole into law. We can't let that happen. And with your help, we won't. Pleaseadd your name to my SignOn.org petition urging Ben Bernanke and the Fed to close down the J.P. Morgan loophole.
Thanks!
–U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley
